Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in the media to analyze the 2-1 victory over Almería. A game where the Argentine coach came out very happy for the image of the team. He later praised VAR, although when asked about the penalty not being indicated to him, he said “I’m speechless”.
match rating
“80 of the best minutes of the season. We found the goal, we saw the dangerous plays. The goal appeared with some luck for them. We went into the last minutes with a short result. The goalkeeper is the best, as was the case on the Almería field. The team with such a short 2-1 with five minutes left it is normal for you to think that they can escape. You had to live in that situation. This time, VAR favored us. There was a play before Griezman’s goal that was charged for offside and no, the goal was taken away from us because it wasn’t offside and they corrected it, then they didn’t give us a penalty for offside”
Match against Barcelona
“We have a path to take game by game. Now there is a team that is above everything as it has shown, now it has a lot of injuries and two consecutive draws. What is important now, the team gives me the feeling of a team that always wants to find the third goal”.
Picks to win LaLiga
“Let’s stop talking about things that are not true. The distance of 13 points from the leader and 11 from the second. Notes are made at the end, and we will see how we end up”.
The penalty favors
“I don’t know what to tell you. One was left dumbfounded. It looked like a hand to me when I saw it, and I thought it was one of the typical hands that can be collected, but it’s not”.
Carrasco’s performance
“I told him ‘you’re playing the perfect game’. You’re doing great one-on-one, dribbling. You’re being aggressive on defense. I told him to keep it up. When he’s at his level he’s one of the best to the team”.
Best team of the second round
“I can’t watch the first part or the second part. Let’s go game by game. Before the World Cup, we had a bit of a bad start. Obviously no one is giving you anything”.
Ruby’s Words
“Some things are not told in the press room, but they tell their friends. He’s playing better, he’s having a good game intensity. This beginning where everyone saw us dead, we have to wait until the end. It will end when the last date ends.
